SP1200 – 11

CAUTION:

 When using multiple SP1200s

that use the expansion bus, these switch
settings 

must

 be unique to each unit or

you can damage your SP1200(s). 

Never

 assign

more than one program source to the same channel
on the Expansion Bus.

If there is a requirement for music-on-hold, use

Input 1 for the continuous music source (i.e.,
satellite feed, prerecorded background music, multi-
disc CD player). Then use the 

DIRECT OUTPUT

jacks to route the signal to the telephone system.

If there is a jukebox or other device that needs

priority, use Input 4 in Program Priority mode (set
the 

AMP ADDRESS

 switch #7 UP to activate).

When a signal appears at Input 4 it overrides the
selected Input source.

Using a chart similar to the one below can be

very helpful in organizing the various components
of the system:

Is there a paging microphone? Is there a

requirement for a local microphone for a guest
speaker?

 You must decide where the microphones

are going to be located. Avoid placing a microphone
near a speaker, to increase gain before feedback. If
the mics require phantom power, set the 

PHANTOM

power switches to the down position (ON) for the
Paging Mic and Mic/Line Inputs. Make sure the

GAIN +40 dB

 switch is set to the down position as

well (+40).

Note:

 The Paging Mic has priority over the system,

including Input 4.

Is there a manual switch for paging?

 Up to

two switches can be connected to the SP1200

PAGING MIC CONTROL

 to manually engage the

paging microphone. Otherwise, the paging mic can
be voice-activated. Adjust the 

VOX

 control as

described on page 19.

Connections

Connecting the Program Sources

All four Program Inputs use unbalanced RCA

connectors. They accept line-level signals (–10
dBV). Each of the Program Inputs is equipped with
an AGC circuit instead of input trim controls. These
circuits automatically adjust the gain for the best
signal-to-noise ratio according to the strength of the
input signal. It also ensures that the relative volume
level remains the same when switching between
input sources.

Use high-quality, two-conductor shielded cable

to make these connections.

Connecting the Microphones

If using the XLR input for the paging microphone,

wire it per AES standard where pin 1 is ground
(shield), pin 2 is signal high (+), and pin 3 is signal
low (–). If using the Phoenix-type connector, strip
the wire back about 1/4" inch. Then insert the wire
as far as it will go into the appropriate hole in the
connector, and tighten down the screw with a small
slot-head screwdriver. It is recommended that you
use 20 or 22 gauge wire with the Phoenix-type
connectors, where pin 1 (the left-most pin) is
ground (shield), pin 2 is signal high (+), and pin 3 is
signal low (–).

The 

MIC/LINE INPUT A 

is for a local microphone.

This is a Phoenix-type connector, and is wired as
described in the previous paragraph for the paging
microphone.

All microphone inputs are equipped with a pad

switch for use with line-level signals. When connect-
ing a line-level signal to these inputs, make sure the

GAIN +40 dB

 switches (and the PHANTOM

switches) are in the up (OFF) position.

Connecting the Speakers

The speaker output connector is a two-

conductor Phoenix-type, with a position-locking
mechanism. Use 16 or 18 gauge wire for connecting
the amplifier outputs to the speakers. If the amplifier
output is configured for 8-ohm operation, connect
the speakers' output directly to an 8-ohm load. The
amplifier will deliver up to 200 watts. If the amplifier
is configured for either 70V or 100V operation,
connect the speaker output directly to the
distributed system. No output transformer is
required. Make sure that the taps on the speakers
add up to 200 watts or less per amplifier for 70V or
100V systems.
